Transcribed Image Text:Prove the following statements.
1. If a set of vectors contains exactly 2 vectors and those vectors are scalar multiples of each other, then
the set is linearly dependent.
2. If a set of vectors contains at least 2 vectors that are scalar multiples of each other, then the set is
linearly dependent.
3. If a set contains p vectors in R" and p> n, then the set is linearly dependent.
4. If a set of vectors contains the zero vector, then the set is linearly dependent.
5. If a set contains exactly one vector and it is nonzero, then the set is linearly independent.
6. A set of vectors is linearly independent if and only if at least one vector in the set can be written as a
linear combination of other vectors in the set.
